A note of txs for Grizzly

AbuPhampi · Post by **AbuPhampi** » Sat Jun 06, 2015 8:57 pm

After very busy 5 months I finally managed to go back to the sand, but unfortunately it was a short trip for me (althoughh I somehow had my dose of sand)

After crossing a quite "invisible" patch of soft sand in a side slope at decent speed, the Catalani FJ jumped enough to damage the radiator in the landing

(( coincidentally also one of our Ford Raptors had traction problem in the same area (and was only 2WD)

FIRST note: to all FJ owners, get a skid plate (8mm alu not the stock), it has been said several times but I was busy/lazy to install it, now lesson is learned

SECOND note: 1000 txs to Grizzly, who joined our INT trip last minute, and was kind enough to help so that the rest of the convoy could enjoy the early morning

Grizzly, I was very impressed on how you managed to find an easy track for the 2WD Raptor to exit to the road smoothly. But once mission one accomplished, the fun started: choosing the right track to tow my FJ in neutral 0WD

Although it took us some exploration and one stuck (txs Tilki and chief Khaiwi) once we came back to tje starting point I had one of my best drives ever. I was really impressed of the power of your car and how we went out to the tarmac even through some tricky areas. And I need to mention that you even insisted in helping until recovery truck was there.

You are an incredible driver, and sense of responsibility and safety like yours makes us love this club, and feel in good and responsible hands.

Txs man, and hope to see you soon in more trips,
AbuPhampi

Abu Phampi, you are just the latest in a looooong list of us who have been grateful to see the Yellow FJ with the Bearpaw flag.

And he knows all about breaking FJ's

So I see you have a fan club! Well deserved

Btw... here is the exact moment where the radiator was busted.

And the video...

Too bad the GoPro was dead when you towed me out, it would have been quite impressive to see.

Have a good week all.
